A Guide to Football Weekend in Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and Montgomery County

Things to do, places to eat, and memories to be made before and after the Hokies play!
 
You've heard of Blacksburg's reputation as one of the best atmospheres in the nation for college football, but what is there to do nearby before and after the game? Between Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and Montgomery County, there's much more to experience during your stay than Enter Sandman.
 
Upon arrival Friday night, sit down for a relaxing dinner at The Farmhouse, kick back and enjoy a lively sports bar at Lost in Taste, or get a headstart on the gameday experience at one of our fantastic breweries across the community.
 
On Saturday, start the day off right with some breakfast from Route 8 Donuts just off I-81 in Christiansburg, or Carol Lee Donuts right along North Main Street in Blacksburg. Locals will tell you that you can't go wrong either way.
 
Enjoy the gameday experience in downtown Blacksburg with a "Virginia Slice" from the popular Benny Marzano's, and explore Virginia Tech's beautiful campus when heading to your tailgate or Lane Stadium.
 
After the Hokies play, Go To Town! Head downtown again with so many famous bars and resturants waiting for you. From Top of the Stairs to 540 Social, there's plenty of options to cap-off your gameday in Blacksburg.
 
Before heading back home on Sunday, you have plenty more to see. Discover the beauty of southwest Virginia on a hike at Stiles Falls, or take a leisurely stroll around peaceful Pandapas Pond. Looking for indoor activities during cold or rainy weather? Christiansburg is full of options for indoor fun including It's Gametime At The Superbowl and Crimper's Climbing Gym.
